I was given a one hour flight experience as a Christmas present which was great. When I saw it was a static simulator I was a little let down, expecting an actual moving flight simulator. Fear not! With the wrap-around windows it really felt like I was moving. The sound effects, landing gear rumbling etc added to the atmosphere. I couldn't fault it for feeling like an actual flight. My wife sat behind me and she also felt like she was actually flying. We enjoyed looking out of the windows at the scenery passing by. I can assure you, you will not realise you are static. I was most impressed by the flying experience. The instructor was very professional, giving me adequate instruction without overloading me with too much info. I chose a couple of routes to 'fly', and enjoyed every minute. Definitely recommend this as a gift or spoil yourself and give it a go.

Alamo Paintball

Reviewed By edbO9042TR

I took my son and a group of his teenager friends to Alamo Paintball this weekend. For many of the teenagers it was the first time they had been paintballing. All of us had an absolutely fantastic time. Right from the initial booking through to the opportunity to take photo's at the end we were superbly looked after by the team at Alamo. We played 6 different games across the afternoon. All the parents agreed it was great value for money. Alamo were professional and took the safety of all the participants seriously however they also made it fun and light hearted too. A massive thank to Richard and Tony at Alamo for ensuring we had a great time and we took a home a very happy bunch of teenager who had loads of fun. I would definitely recommend Alamo and we can't wait till the next time we go.

We have had a fantastic experience at The Mind Factory, playing the "Safe Night" Premium title (and a couple of the escape rooms). We are big gamers and really enjoyed a completely different experience to PC/Console gaming. The Safe Night title is great fun - very immersive and despite being a video game, it really gets the adrenaline going and you feel it afterwards. Its great fun working as a team and moving about the space, free from wires etc. It really enhances the VR experience. I have now played it a few times, and I want to do it again! 110% recommend! The Escape Rooms are also great fun, immersive and challenging. Perfect if you prefer a slightly different experience in VR. If your looking for something exciting & new or a different VR experience, give it a go!

Big Sky

Reviewed By 708maryannj

After taking my son to his friends birthday party on Sunday I was amazed at the things big sky now offer; the role play , the activities and the climbing wall we’re just some of it! My son has come away begging to have a birthday party at big sky, the food offered was brilliant along with the extremely friendly and helpful party host Lauran who was always checking up on us and was also great with the kids! We love big sky, I highly recommend it! 10/10
